Hi, I am trying to use some apps so I can connect to my HD2 through home wifi then use my PC keyboard to send sms etc. But no matter how hard I try it just doesn't work.
The phone says it is on 192.168.1.137 but I just can't connect to it in any way. I've tried EasySMS and now Myphoneexplorer (they are the only ones I can remember at this time)
Using the MDJ CyanogenMod 7 v2.6. connecting it it from a Windows 7 x64 machine.
Any help?
I have the same issue. So anybody can help ?
are you making sure you are putting the port number after the ip address? so it is : http://192.168.1.137:2511
Yes, tried both ways, with MyPhoneExplorer it even uses an app on my phone and the app on the pc to do it automatically but still doesn't work. I just want to be able to SMS with my keyboard!!
i installed that app this morning and it worked first time without any issues, are you sure there isnt something being blocked on the router end?
Or perhaps you have a firewall in place on your pc?
disabling firewall doesn't help.
What could be blocking it on the router? I'm not exactly a router expert, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be blocking anything internally, only stuff coming from the outside in?
Sorry for Double post, I just really want to get this sorted. But I had a look at my router and there doesn't seem to be any blocks in place. Is there anything I should be looking out for?
can you ping the phone? from the PC, in a dos window, type ping and then the ip address of the phone.
what is the result?
also try it from the phone to the PC (use the PC address, and you can use a terminal app to try).

I cannot ping my phone via network, so I cannot connect with any share-app also.
What's the problem ?

Topic might sound a bit puzzling, but I can clear that up. At work my laptop is hooked into the network. I cant use the hermes (8525) as my 3g internet source since then I wouldn't be on the network anymore and would lose my unix and email connectivity.
What would be spectacular, is if I could hook my phone in via activesync or bluetooth and route internet from one webbrowser on my laptop through the phone, hence why I mention proxy.
3g is generally faster than web goes where I work, and they also block alot of sites. Down with the man!
I might also be crazy.
Using the 8525 as a modem for your laptop is easy. Consult page 109 of the PDF user's manual that is located on the installation CDROM.

lol yeah you tell em, im in the same boat.
Dang, sorry it took me a while to get back to this. You are certainly correct that using the phone as a modem IS easy, but that is not exactly what I am trying to do.
Scenario:
If I plug my network jack into my laptop, I'm connected to my network and I'm connected to the internet via my internal network.
If at the same time I connect my 8525 via Internet Sharing on the phone, I'm still connected to my internal network and the internal via my internal network.
If I disconnect my network jack from my laptop, I am no longer connected to my internal network.
My internet is now being routed through my 8525 phone, as expected.
What I would like to accomplish:
Network jack plugged in and access to my internal network.
8525 connected via Bluetooth to laptop to browse with IE/Firefox.
Using the phones built in internet sharing is so much simpler than going the Wireless modem route in the manual. Is that the only way to be able to accomplish this? What I have been unable to figure out is how to tell Firefox/IE to use my bluetooth connection as the primary if available.
Thanks!
All you'd need to do is modify the routing info to point the right traffic at the right interface..
How you'd go about changing that in Windows I have no idea.. Linux I reckon I could figure out but windows youll have to google... its definitly possible though.. shouldnt be too hard.
I had the same idea, but after some Google-ing i understood that it wasn't possible with a WM5 phone.
The only thing i could comeup with is a proxy tool on the phone where you could point your browser to, but unfortunatly the only one that exists only handles GET requests... so it's pretty useless for now...
I have tried all sorts of crazy ideas, even changing the metrics on my NIC port on my laptop. All was a bust.
I found some posts about the proxy server that only does GET as well. I guess I'm stuck with slow work internet.
It surely must be possible because it has nothing to do with the phone really.. the change that needs to be made is with windows routing..
Maybe try having a search for using windows with 2 network interface cards and apply the same sort of technique.. ignore the fact one is a phone as there will be more guides with standard nics and the theory should be the same..
If i get a chance ill have a go on a windows box tonight and see if I can come up with anything.
I was searching for things like "winxp two nic routing" and things like that. Found tons of relevant posts and information, but no solutions. With linux it looked like you could tell it to route things on certain ports to a different NIC.
If you can run a SSH server at home, you can open a tunnel between your work PC and home. Then use that tunnel as a proxy for pretty much everything.
However, if your work blocks the internet all together, you can use your phone's internet the very same way.
Here is a guide I wrote to bypass the HTTP proxy from on the GPRS side.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314757
I also wrote this guide to do the very same thing, but from your phone (so you can check emails from your phone, and use windows live )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316890
In the second guide, second post, I explain how to setup a SSH server on a windows XP machine.
I told you it'd be complicated
this sounds a bit crazy but i use VMware on my work pc.
i have a 2nd windows os running under vmware that i share my usb connection(bluetooth or cable) from the host pc with to connect my htc tytn to the internet using pan..
this way their network is safe from me and my information stays on my virtual OS with my own credential not there domains. then i can do as i please.
Hi, I have my laptop which is running windows 7 HP. I would like to use remote desktop on my hd2 but I cannot seem to connect to the computer. Can anyone help me to get it running?
connecting on your home network?
http://phonehacks.co.uk/index.php?article=Remote-Desktop-HD2-Leo
if you mean connecting from outside your home network, example connecting from your mobile data connection, then you also need to set up your router to port forward the incoming connection.
Hey Samsamuel,
Good advice fella, can i ask, i have a new htc hd2,
OS Vers: 5.2.21869
Manila Ver: 2.5.2012
Rom Ver: 1.72.841.0
Radio Ver: 2.07.51.22_2
I have remote desktop on my HD2, and have tried to connect it to my pc over 3g with no luck. I have allowed remote desktop use on my pc, so thats not the issue... I dont have a router, just a bigpond 7.2 mobile internet usb stick (i suppose you cud call that a router really). Is it still possible to connect to my laptop thru this device, as it doesnt seem to give me the option of porting thru the stick to the pc..??
Any help i would really appreciate, as i have never done this before, and have tried googling this to death, everyone just keeps mentioning routers, and porting, which i get, and understand, but nothing about mobile internet sticks...
Thanks mate
from the phone data to the usb key shouldnt require anything to be forwarded.
just find out the ip address of the pc, ensure the correct settings on remote desktop( i.e allow connections from devices running any version) and then on the phone start remote desktop and give it your pc ip address.
it "should" be straightforward. (if not necessarily speedy)
@samsamuel
Yeah, thats pretty much what ive done but it doesnt allow me to connect...maybe there is a problem between the bigpond 7.2 mobile stick and the pc..... will keep trying and let you all know....thanks....
I have never been able to connect to my laptop with my HD2 the whole time I have had it. I'm running windows 7 64 bit and have tried several settings, all with no luck. I pretty much gave up on it.
are you guys able to connect to the laptop using another machine and not just the hd2? that info helps identify if its an hd2 problem or a server/settings problem.
i use remote desktop to connect to work and logmein to connect to personal computers on the hd2 often, so you just gotta get them server settings right
i just tried using logmein hamachi and it worked instantly. just install the software in both the computer and the hd2, join the same network on both devices and enter the computer's hamachi- adress in the remote desktop application.
No ive not tried using another machine.... Good idea, will give that a try and see if it is a possible problem with my hd2.... Thanx....

Hi,
When I try to ping my phone from the PC in a wifi network, it says Destination Host Unreachable.
Looks like this ROM (HTC Aria CM6.1.0 RC2) has disabled ping or incoming connection to the phone.
Is there any way, I can enable incoming connection through some port?
I really need it for applications like wifi keyboard (where i use the PC keyboard to type in the cell phone) to work.
Any help appreciated.

I believe I read somewhere that the Android debugger (ADB) allows you to make remote connects to a phone via an IP connection. Here's a link:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-adb-wireless
BTW, does the stock AT&T Aria ROM allow you to PING the phone via it's WIFI IP address?
You also can't even ping the device's 3G connection IP address to the outside world.
They need to open this up to the user's discretion imo.
Yes, I found a solution to ping HTC Aria from a computer using same wifi.
All you have to do is ping the HTC Aria from your computer infinitely (ie. ping -t <ipaddress>. Example is Below). At the same time, ping the computer from the Andriod Terminal in your HTC ARIA. You have to do this only one time. After the first time, your Andriod phone recognizes your computer and allows to ping.
2 Easy Steps:
1. Ping HTC Aria (in my case 192.168.2.2) using Windows. (Xp, Vista or 7)
ping -t 192.168.2.2
2. Ping computer's IP (in my case 192.168.2.4) from Andriod Terminal
ping 192.168.2.4
That's all in 2 steps.

Is it an extra security created by CM6 Developers or a BUG?
If it is, it is nothing but trouble to users.

Thanks a lot sanjeevkafle! That made my Aria ping-able with CM7 !!!!

yeep this was posted by someone on cm forums, then by me here...it's only a temporary fix though which is the annoying part...and any time you ask anyone why it's like that you never get an answer, the question just gets overlooked...really annoying to be honest...i typically use swiftp/filezilla to transfer files to and fro my aria and i have to do this everytime i want to do that...

Yeah, realized that later. I downloaded a ping app that keeps pinging, sort of a keep-alive way. Couple that with samba or websharing and the connection works. Slow as WiFi is. And then wakelock kept my phone awake even shutting samba down *facepalm*
What a pain in the arse this wifi sync/exploring is
Yesterday I installed Windows 8 on a partition on my harddrive, and had it dual boot with Windows 7. However, after I installed it the Ethernet connection on my Windows 7 stopped working.
Like, it wouldn't get the correct IP address, gateway, DNS server or anything, and it tells me the IP configuration is incorrect. It still gives the same error even if I put the IP and router info in manually, and it doesn't work if I plug the Ethernet directly into the wall either. I've tried reinstalling the Ethernet drivers, running a virus scanner, and I've even reinstalled Windows 7, but to no avail.
The odd thing though, it works FINE in Windows 8 (which I am typing this from), what is up with that. How can I fix this?
EDIT: The IP Address that it gives it self is 169.254.131.106, and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. It doesn't get a default gateway, DNS Server, or anything else. The IP adresss should be in the range of 192.168.2.X.
EDIT: The error I get is "Unidentified network" and in the Network and Sharing Centre it says "No network access." When I reinstalled Windows, I didn't format my HDD (900GB of data I don't want to lose and have no where to put), I just installed it on top of the old installation, if there was in fact a virus, it can't still be causing these problems can it? Because I mean I didn't even open a single file or program and the network still wasn't working.
Somewhere in the connection settings should be a spot to specify an IP address and subnet mask. As far as I can tell your subnet mask is fine, but you should be able to force it to assign the 192.168.2.X address.
I thought this happened to me too.. After using windows 8 on a separate drive, going back to windows 7 killed my time sync and wireless card. Had to remove and reinsert the card before 7 could see it again. Very annoying

Well, I did try to force that IP Address, and I corrected to subnet mask, and I put in the correct gateway and DNS server. In the network status Window it claimed that I had the correct info, but I feel in reality it didn't actually change anything, because I was still getting the same error. And my PC doesn't show up on the DHCP client list in my router's gateway.
Also, the error I get is "Unidentified Network," and in the Network and Sharing Centre it says "No Network Access." Running the network diagnosis doesn't help either.

Ah I wish I could do this, but my Ethernet ports are built into the motherboard. I've tried disabling and re-enabling from Device Manager, but that didn't do anything.
I had the exact same problem. One solution is to disable the wired ethernet connection in windows 8 before you shut down, Windows 7's ethernet should work fine now. Then next time you want to use Windows 8 just re-enable it.

If only I knew this before I reinstalled windows lol. I git it fixed though, I updated the drivers from the website instead of using the CD that came with my motherboard
Weird, I also tried updating the driver and it still didn't work. Thankfully disabling the connection is an easy work around.

Hi guys,
Our college wi-fi has blocked Android, iPhone and Windows Phone users from connecting to the network. Laptops are able to connect fine. Upon noticing how they block devices, it turns out that they block the mac addresses, and they keep doing so even after changing mac address. Changing MAC address on a blocked laptop works, on mobiles, it doesn't.
What I understand is that the routers are blocking all mobile devices directly, is there any way I can change my android device to appear as a laptop? From all I've tried searching and understanding, with UPnP connections, this data about the device is trasmitted?
I would be very glad if anyone can help me out with this. Just for information, my mobile is a rooted Galaxy S Advance (i9070), and the routers are the Aruba 105s.
probably they identify devices by another method and not by mac.
write in google: "How knowing the device, carrier and connection" and you'll find the answers.
Mine problem is also the same but am using Windows phone.
So please suggest me something.
actually , in my university students with android phone are using psiphon app which bypass the browser login page (24online client) , when the university admins got to know this, they blocked android phones from connecting to router , later they blocked the software connecting to our ssid but they didnt blocked windows pc because our professors take attendance on their laptops , they need to connect inside online server to mark attendance and the windows mobiles are also connecting to router
my phone is moto g2 rooted , i tried changing the device name ,modified the p2p_suppli and wpa_suppli file in system\etc\wifi . but nothing worked , is there anyway for android mobiles to appear as windows pc , so that it will connect to router
please help
thanking in advance
Hack is the solution.

Yes, Correct! Any solution to this please? because its really annoying not being able to use the WiFi on phone.

ICMP blocking
hello guys
As I came to know that there firewall is blocking the ICMP pinging request to the server that is handling the local request. so if some how we can mask the local IP and tunnel the network then we can easily use the internet without any rules applied with full bamdwidth .
You can mail me if any one wants to work on it.
